To the Editor Of the Press:

of your Wednesday mornings issue:
Chairman Belmont is urging his retaliation
bill before the House committee on foreign affairs
OF which he Is chairman, and hopes TO get Il
adopted. The bill differs from the Senate meas

sea, and would Affect railroads, as well as YES

House can DO Is 70 adopt II. The eanntry dossat

that, and II will be well 10 wait and the effect
before prescribing more drastic remedies"
There seems to be misunderstanding .on
two points, both Of which are, perhaps, set
right by the debate appearing in the Con-
gressional Record of January 25th, and
therefore | refer to both Of them here.
The first Is as to the scope Of Mr.. Ed
munds's bill. Mr.. Edmunds is Justly en-
titled to interpret his own bill, and he says
in the Congressional Record to which | re-
fer page 1907, that by force of his bill the
President may exclude 'all things of every
kind coming from the Canadian provinces
under one clause Of the bill, which would
include engines and cars as well as every
| thing else" ; and he continues: "But suppose
| ii did not include engines and cars, but In
cluded all their carg0eS, i ask whether II
would be any great comfort to the British
| dominiOns TO run empty cars, to have no
| passengers and freight with their engines
| from Quebec TO Portlandw
The writer was misled, as well as many
/ Others. through the incorrect transmission
/ of Mr.. Edmunds' bill by telegraph. A care
| full examination Of the official bill will show
/ that its scope was intended to be quite as
| broad as the Belmont bill Apparently,
| however, Mr.. Edmunds drew his bill in
| some haste; because, for example, II Is ex-
pressed, that ii probably would have no ap-
| plicatiOn to an indefinite continuance Of
/ cases like that of the David j. Adams"
The second is, it has been many times re-
| terated, that the actOf June 16, A. ID. 1886,
| authorizing the exclusion Of certain Canad-
| ian vessels under certain circumstances,
| was sufficient for the purposes for which it
/ was intended; and indeed IL has been said
| by some, that il would enable the President

This afternoon City Auditor Dodge en-
phatically denied making the statement at

were 100000 short. Mr.. Dodge says he has
no authority to see the books of the clerk of

they can be paid. In Leighton's case, he
